Re: [Flashcoders] AS2.0 Question - passing data between classes
You might want to read Head First Design Patterns for some good ideas
about how to write good code.
Lots of practical ideas about many of te situations that you need to
resolve.

Hi
I'm new to OOP programming in AS2.
I'm writing two classes right now. One which creates/manipulates an
array of XMLNodes and one which watches for an internet connection.
When it finds a connection, it starts to send the XMLNodes from the
queue back to a server one by one.
So far I've written the Queue class.
class com.Queue {
private var _milestoneXMLNode:XMLNode;
private var _aQueue:Array;
//Constructor
public function Queue() {
_aQueue = new Array();
}
//Methods
public function addMilestoneToQueue(milestoneXMLNode:XMLNode):Void {
_aQueue.push(milestoneXMLNode);
}
private function getQueue():Array {
return _aQueue;
}
private function getFirstMessageInQueue():XMLNode {
return _aQueue[0];
}
private function deleteFirstMessageFromQueue():Void {
_aQueue.splice(0,1)
}
}
Now the real question I have is how to get the first element from the
Queue, i.e. _aQueue[0] from the Queue class into the Connection class
so that it can be sent back to the server?
class com.Connection {
private var _isConnection:Boolean;
//Constructor
public function Connection() {
//No connection by default
_isConnection = false;
}
//Methods
private function detectConnection():Void {
//
}
}
How do I do this? Or does this break encapsulation? I'm a bit stuck,
would appreciate any advice.
Cheers
Andrew

Re: [Flashcoders] help with datagrid flash 8
Hi Gustavo, I assume that myBlog is a DataGrid component. First of all dataProvider is a property, so the syntax to set it is as follows: myBlog.dataProvider = myParsedRssData; Second I think you need something in between your RSS feed and your DataGrid component. This something must parse your rss.cfm and format it so that it can be fed into your DataGrid's dataProvider property. I have no experience in binding a DataGrid to Web data, but a quick Google search turned up this: http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/databind/CatalogTutorial.php?page=6 . It should be applicable for your case (although its DB access and flash MX). HTH, stefan.

Re: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle
A related issue which has got me wondering is what to do with some of my old software... The upgrade path to either CS3 Web Premium or Design premium assumes that we have one of several existing versions of software including Creative Suite 2 OR Macromedia Studio 8. I'm sure there are many others on this list who own BOTH of these, yet that counts for nothing when upgrading. I'm contemplating using Studio 8 to unlock the upgrade package then selling Creative Suite 2 - with the proper licence transfer of course. I suppose I could also purchase two copies of the Cretaive Suite 3 - use CS2 to unlock one and Macromedia Studio 8 to unlock the other, then onsell one of the CS3 bundles. Any thoughts?

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and paypal
super-useful guys, thankyou how secure is this? are there any passwords or seller account details sent by flash to paypal? Quoting Jordan Snyder [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That was helpful John! FYI, it seems your Google Checkout code is broken! Cheers On 4/23/07, John Hattan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You don't need any third-party API's to talk to paypal. Since the paypal site accepts standard GET and POST CGI data, sending a transaction to Paypal can be done by setting up a LoadVars object, setting the parameters to your shopping cart in the object, then sending that LoadVars object to PayPal's little processor at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr (note that there's apparently a long-standing bug in Flash's POST-handler, so I just use GET. It makes for ugly URL's, but it works) As for doing back-end processing from Paypal (i.e. being notified that somebody bought something and you need to act on that purchase), google for IPN, which is Paypal's spec for creating and acting on transactions. Paypal's got good sample code in several server-side languages along with developer forums and a sandbox (i.e. a fake paypal where you can test your code without spending real money). The process basically goes like this. . . 1. You send your shopping cart data to paypal (either from Flash or some other browser-based shopping-cart solution) 2. The user is sent to paypal where he pays for the transaction. 3. Paypal contacts some server-side code telling you that somebody bought something. 4. You verify the transaction with paypal (to make sure you're not being spoofed) 5. If verified, do whatever's necessary to complete the transaction, like email the user a download link.

you check if the arr[i] is greater than greater and then you increment i
rather do
for(int i=0; i15;i++){
if(arr[i]greater){
greater=arr[i];
}
}

First of all, it's C.
Second, try incrementing i inside the for statement, otherwise the
algorithm reports the wrong value:
for(int i=0; i15; i++)
The Actionscript equivalent would be something like this:
var arr:Array = [17,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
var greater:Number = 0;
for(var i:Number = 0; i arr.length; i++){
if(arr[i] greater) {
greater = arr[i];
}
}
trace(greater is + greater + \n);

[Flashcoders] Shifting points 90 degrees
Hey all, I'm using the tutorial on building a carousel from gotoandlearn.com as the basis of one that has a few more things it can do. I'm having trouble with the placement of items on the circle at the beginning. The angle is derived with: t.angle = i * ((Math.PI * 2) / numOfItems); The x and y coords are derived with: t._x = Math.cos(t.angle) * radiusX + centerX; t._y = Math.sin(t.angle) * radiusY + centerY; This starts the placement of the items on the circle starting at 3 o'clock(east), whereas I would like them to start at 6 o'clock(south). How would I go about adding 90 degrees to the initial placement? Cheers.

Re: [Flashcoders] there is a problem plz help
Could be irrelevant or could be useful so I'll mention it anyway.
That looks fine to me, but i would create a new variable to hold the value of
arr.length to test against, it'll be more efficient to access a variable than
an array's property.
var arr:Array = [17,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];
var greater:Number = 0;
var loopCount:Number = arr.length;
for(var i:Number = 0; i loopCount; i++){
greater = Math.max(greater,arr[i]);
}
trace(greater is + greater + \n);

That looks fine to me, but i would create a new variable to hold the value
of arr.length to test against, it'll be more efficient to access a
variable than an array's property.
var arr:Array = [17,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15];

[Flashcoders] WhITE SNOW and Seven Dwarf - MAth Problems!
I have a problem concerning Math. My app need to draw points
using movieclip from library. the data comes from the xml file. there are
nearly 7000 nodes in the xml describing each points, esp it's X and Y
coordinate.
Using a single for loop (counting 1, 2, 3, ...and so forth) doesn't let me
give a visual cue that application is still drawing. So I switch to setInterval
method to attach the same points and let some animation play while drawing the
nodes, BUT this STILL requires some time to render.
my current thought was to use the same event but with more variables who act
as counter. for example to be able to enumerate all 7000 nodes i just assign
variables namely a, b, c,d, e, f, g that counts the number with different
starting number. a starts counting from 1 and add 7 to each counts. b
starts from 2 and add 7 to each counts, c starts from 3 and add 7 to each
counts, and the same also goes to rest.
Using onEnterFrame, the code look like this (on frame 1) :
//run 7 times faster for attaching symbol in the library
//(depends on how many people count)
var a = 1;
var b = 2;
var c = 3;
var d = 4;
var e = 5;
var f = 6;
var g = 7;
trace(first Number = + a + - + b + - + c + - + d + - + e +
- + f + - + g);
trace(Next Number = + newline);
_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
a +=7;
b +=7;
c +=7;
d +=7;
e +=7;
f +=7;
g +=7;
trace(a + - + b + - + c + - + d + - + e + - + f + - +
g);
if (g == 70){
delete _root.onEnterFrame ;
}
}
Does anyone has a simpler function to achieve this pattern?
also assuring that all nodes are read?
thanks in advanced
erich erlangga

Re: [Flashcoders] flash and paypal
You don't send passwords to paypal. Just the transaction details (item numbers, quantities, and prices) and your paypal address. The user enters all the secure stuff on the paypal site so you don't have to mess with that. The transaction you get from paypal only includes the user's info (name, email, and snailmail address) and details about the transaction (items purchased, quantities, and price). There's no way for me to sneakily charge extra money from one of my buyers' accounts. As for security the other way (i.e. people faking a purchase to you), there's a verify step. When paypal first contacts you to tell you that somebody bought something, they send you a key, which is a big string of random characters. You send this key to Paypal's verification-server, and it sends you back a VERIFIED or NOT VERIFIED. If you get a VERIFIED, then you can be sure that the transaction came from Paypal. Again, the sample-code takes care of all of this. Most of your paypal solution will involve downloading their sample code in your favorite server language (PHP, Perl, CF, etc) and modifying it to serve your needs. Google checkout is similar, security-wise, although it's entirely XML-based and requires an encrypted connection so you can't talk to it directly from Flash (at least not easily). In my case, I talk to a little piece of PHP on my site that sends the transaction to Google Checkout, because PHP has all the secure-connection stuff built in. One nice thing Google Checkout adds is that buyers can hide their emails from sellers. I've gotten a couple of these with game purchases. Instead of the user's real email address, I get something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]. This email forwards to the buyer, but only for a limited time. That way buyers don't have to worry about getting spammed by sellers after the fact. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 4:42:01 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] flash and paypal super-useful guys, thankyou how secure is this? are there any passwords or seller account details sent by flash to paypal?

Can you explain a bit further how you are using your classes and how the
two
different swf's are using them and i shall try to help???

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Cross domain issue
thanks it was the Security.allowDomain issue *ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference* [image: Previous]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/All%20Users/Application%20Data/Macromedia/Flash%208/en/Configuration/HelpPanel/Help/ActionScriptLangRef/2646.html [image: Next]file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/All%20Users/Application%20Data/Macromedia/Flash%208/en/Configuration/HelpPanel/Help/ActionScriptLangRef/2648.html ActionScript classesfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/All%20Users/Application%20Data/Macromedia/Flash%208/en/Configuration/HelpPanel/Help/ActionScriptLangRef/1893.html security (System.security)file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/All%20Users/Application%20Data/Macromedia/Flash%208/en/Configuration/HelpPanel/Help/ActionScriptLangRef/2646.html allowDomain (security.allowDomain method) allowDomain (security. allowDomain method) public static allowDomain(domain1:String) : Void Lets SWF files and HTML files in the identified domains access objects and variables in the SWF file that contains the allowDomain() call. If two SWF files are served from the same domain -- for example, http://mysite.com/movieA.swf and http://mysite.com/movieB.swf -- then movieA.swf can examine and modify variables, objects, properties, methods, and so on in movieB.swf, and movieB.swf can do the same for movieA.swf. This is called *cross-movie scripting* or simply *cross-scripting*. If two SWF files are served from different domains -- for example, http://mysite.com/movieA.swf and http://othersite.com/movieB.swf -- then, by default, Flash Player does not allow movieA.swf to script movieB.swf, nor movieB.swf to script movieA.swf. A SWF file gives SWF files from other domains permission to script it by calling System.security.allowDomain(). This is called *cross-domain scripting*. By calling System.security. allowDomain(mysite.com), movieB.swf gives movieA.swf permission to script movieB.swf. In any cross-domain situation, two parties are involved, and it's important to be clear about which side is which. For the purposes of this discussion, the side performing the cross-scripting is called the *accessing party*(usually the accessing SWF), and the other side is called *the party being accessed* (usually the SWF being accessed). To continue the example, when movieA.swf scripts movieB.swf, movieA.swf is the accessing party, and movieB.swf is the party being accessed. Cross-domain permissions that are established with System.security. allowDomain() are asymmetrical. In the previous example, movieA.swf can script movieB.swf, but movieB.swf cannot script movieA.swf, because movieA.swf has not called System.security.allowDomain() to give othersite.com permission to script movieA.swf. You can set up symmetrical permissions by having both SWF files call System.security.allowDomain(). In addition to protecting SWF files from cross-domain scripting originated by other SWF files, Flash Player protects SWF files from cross-domain scripting originated by HTML files. HTML-to-SWF scripting can be performed with older Flash browser functions such as SetVariable or callbacks established by using ExternalInterface.addCallback(). When HTML-to-SWF scripting crosses domain boundaries, the SWF file being accessed must call System.security.allowDomain(), just as when the accessing party is a SWF file, or the operation will fail. Specifying an IP address as a parameter to System.security.allowDomain()does not permit access by all parties that originate at the specified IP address. Instead, it permits access only by parties that were loaded by explicitly specifying that IP address in their URLs, rather than by a domain name that maps to that IP address. *Version-specific differences* Flash Player's cross-domain security rules have evolved from version to version. The following table summarizes the differences. Latest SWF version involved in the cross-scripting operation. allowDomain() needed? allowInsecureDomain() needed? Which SWF must call allowDomain() or allowInsecureDomain()? What can be specified in allowDomain() or allowInsecureDomain()? 5 or earlier No No N/A 6 Yes, if superdomains don't match The SWF file being accessed, or any SWF file with the same superdomain as the SWF file being accessed - Text-based domain (mysite.com) - IP address (192.168.1.1) 7 Yes, if domains don't match exactly Yes, if performing HTTP-to-HTTPS access (even if domains match exactly) The SWF file being accessed, or any SWF file with exactly the same domain as the SWF file being accessed 8 or later SWF being accessed - Text-based domain (mysite.com) - IP address (192.168.1.1) - Wildcard (*) The versions that control the behavior of Flash Player are *SWF versions*(the published version of a SWF file), not the version of Flash Player itself. For example, when Flash Player 8 is playing a SWF file published for version 7, it applies behavior that is consistent with version 7. This practice ensures

[Flashcoders] scoping issue (?) with static, recursive function
Okay, so I have an FLA with a series of embedded movieclips:
garden tree branch twig flower.
I want a static function -- in an as 2.0 class -- that, when given
flower, returns tree. In other words, you can give in an embedded
movieclip and it finds that clips ALMOST outermost parent.
Here's my class function:
class com.research.StaticRecurse
{
public static function
getOuterMostParent(mc:MovieClip,mcRoot:MovieClip):MovieClip
{
if (mc._parent._name == garden)
{
trace(inside getOuterMostParent: + mc);
return mc;
}
else
{
getOuterMostParent(mc._parent);
}
}
}
and inside the fla, I use the following code:
import com.research.StaticRecurse;
var innerMostChild:MovieClip = garden.tree.branch.twig.flower;
var mc:MovieClip = StaticRecurse.getOuterMostParent(innerMostChild);
trace(outside getOutMostParent: + mc);
the trace is as follows:
inside getOuterMostParent: _level0.garden.tree
outside getOutMostParent: undefined
As you can see, the first trace -- which works beautifully -- occurs
RIGHT BEFORE the return statement. But the value that's actually
returned is undefined. I've never encountered anything like this
before. To me, it seems as if I'm doing this:
function x():Number
{
var n:Number = 1000;
trace(n); //1000
return n;
}
trace(x()); //undefined
... which would be insane. I'm guessing it's a scoping issue that has
to do with recursion and the fact that this is a static function
(which it kind of has to be). Why is this happening? Is there a
workaround? Thanks!

You need a 'return' before the recursive call:

getOuterMostParent(mc:MovieClip,mcRoot:MovieClip):MovieClip
{
if (mc._parent._name == garden)
{
trace(inside getOuterMostParent: + mc);

{
// Add a return here:
return getOuterMostParent(mc._parent);

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2.0 Question - passing data between classes
I do not think that this passes any data but it does let you grab an instance (usually of a singleton) so that you can use setters and getters to pass the data. If the object is not a Singleton, I am not sure which instance you get so it is only part of the solution. Look at the book Head First Design Patterns if you want to see how communication can be achieved. Look at the Observer pattern and the Factory for a start. Other books will have these common patterns but I have found Head First Design Patterns to be clear and a fairly easy read (lots of pictures).

Re: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for prices changing from this, unfortunately. At the end of the day pricing is purely a marketing function, and in that world the only rule is to charge as much as the customer is willing to pay. Then there are hundreds of ways to justify the price by calling accounting and agreeing on what costs are being covered by the price. For all you know the price difference is to pay for the private jets that the sales reps are taking to go around Europe..! (*) In addition, it is likely that the target for these prices are companies, not individuals. Said companies can get the VAT off in some countries, and may benefit from other tax cuts (e.g. passing this as an expense) which makes them much more willing to foot the bill than your average developer guy/gal, who has to pay from his/her net income and pay VAT on top of it. So... I don't believe it's going to change unless some of the subsidiaries see drops in profits. It's going to take some massive boycotting or perhaps push from an open-source competitor product for things to change... both unlikely.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2.0 Question - passing data between classes
getInstance() is usually used for accessing Singleton classes. These are classes of which only a single instance can exist. This way any class can call getInstance (a static method) to get the class, and that class can store shared data. Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singleton_pattern for an overview of singletons. It's a very useful design pattern. -Andy On 4/24/07, Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there also some way to do this using a command called getinstance() ?

Re: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
One way: In the same directory as your SWF. Have a main class with a static function that takes in a movie clip. In your FLA put code in Frame 1 like: MainClass.main(this); The this is the root movie clip. The static function main will pass it around to who ever needs it in your application. It depends how you want to handle it but this is a starting point. Hope this helps, Rob.

Re: [Flashcoders] Changing Green (halogreen) highlight color
I believe you can use the setStyle function to do it. For instance,
in some of my code where I'm setting up a combo box I have this (I
forget which color setting actually changes the focus rectangle, but I
think it's 'themeColor'):
comboBox.setStyle('themeColor', 0x007CBA);
comboBox.setStyle('borderStyle', 'solid');
comboBox.setStyle('borderColor', 0x6E6E6D);
comboBox.setStyle('fontSize', 10);
Or, to turn it off I do:
comboBox.drawFocus = null;

Re: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
There are a number of ways of essentially 'hacking' AS2 to behave in a more classic OO manner. Personally, as it IS a hack no matter what you do in AS2, I always keep it simple and just import a Main.as file, rather than go to unnecessarily elaborate lengths to fool myself that I'm really using a stricly typed, perfectly conventioned OO based language. But fear not, AS3 will let you create the document class you long for. In the most mature example of popular commercial OO based code, Java, the best practice is always to call the main dcument class main. If you stick with Java best practices you won't go wrong with AS. Sean McSharry Hi, just wanted to know if there is a best practice when creating a class for the mother movie (i.e. the flash-movie itself).

Re: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
clearInterval stops an interval from executing, it doesn't remove the ID that
was assigned to the interval.
From the docs:
quote
setInterval:
Returns
Number - An integer that identifies the interval (the interval ID), which
you can pass to clearInterval() to cancel the
interval.
/quote
Each time you call setInterval a numeric identifier is returned, which is auto
incremented as you can see in your example.
And this also explains why it is so important to clear an interval before
creating a new one, which was mentioned a few times here
recently.

Muzak

Re: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
So once you create a new interval with the same name you will lose the path
of the original?
/*SAMPLE
Of course we know this is not the way to do it ;)
Its just for testing purposes */
var myInterval:Number = setInterval (this, test, 1000);
var myInterval:Number = setInterval (this, test, 1200);
var myInterval:Number = setInterval (this, test, 1400);
var myInterval:Number = setInterval (this, test, 1600);
clearInterval (myInterval);
function test() {
trace(hi);
}
In this case we now don't have access to interval 1,2 and 3 and of course 4

clearInterval stops an interval from executing, it doesn't remove the ID

From the docs:
quote
setInterval:
Returns
Number - An integer that identifies the interval (the interval ID),
which you can pass to clearInterval() to cancel the
interval.
/quote
Each time you call setInterval a numeric identifier is returned, which is
auto incremented as you can see in your example.
And this also explains why it is so important to clear an interval before
creating a new one, which was mentioned a few times here
recently.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
Is there any specific reason why after calling clearInterval the
variable
with the interval returns 1 instead of undefined/null?
Following the docs and creating a simple item we get different results
(no
different but no what our logic might expect)
function callback() {
trace(interval called: +getTimer()+ ms.);
}
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(callback, 1000);
trace(intervalID);
clear_btn.onRelease = function(){
clearInterval( intervalID );
trace(intervalID);//shouldnt this return undefined/null?
trace(cleared interval);
};
start_btn.onRelease = function() {
intervalID = setInterval(callback, 1000);// this adds 1 to the
current
interval
trace(intervalID);
}

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Clear Set Interval Q:
HG So once you create a new interval with the same name you will lose the path HG of the original? An interval has no name, it has a numeric ID - what has a name is the variable (or more variables if you want) where you store this ID. And yes, if you doesn't care about storing the ID (e.g. you overwrite it), you will lose information which is required for clearing a specific interval.

Re: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
If you like Java so much, why don't you marry it? If you want to make deferential commentary regarding Actionscript, go to Java forums and seek validation from your Java friends. Unlike us Flashcoders, I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige. It's extremely easy to make a document class in AS2 and it is most certainly not a hack. You make an empty movieclip (CTRL+F8), assign your main class to it (under Linkage), put it on the root timeline at 0,0 and you're done. Doesn't get much easier than that. It's not a hack, there is nothing negative about it and it has quite a few positives. Just build your entire application within that clip. The hacks that I have seen about how to force the root to have a class assigned to it are complicated at best, and unnecessary (as I have just illustrated) at worst, not to mention you can run into issues when you take into account FlashVars and other _root considerations. When I'm developing, I hear two voices in my head: Judge Judy says, KISS! Keep It Simple, Stupid. and David Hansson says DRY! Don't Repeat Yourself. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
Try this class. Put new ApplicationClass(this); on the first frame of
the timeline.
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class ApplicationClass extends MovieClip{
public var addEventListener:Function;
public var removeEventListener:Function;
private var dispatchEvent:Function;
public function ApplicationClass(target){
target.__proto__ = __proto__;
this = ApplicationClass(target);
EventDispatcher.initialize(this);
init();
}
private function init(){
trace(this = + this);
}
}
You can also use that class as a generic class for all your timelines
and extend it like this
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import it.sephiroth.XML2Object;
class RootClass extends ApplicationClass{
public function RootClass(target){
super(target);
}
private function init(){

RE: [Flashcoders] Papervision3D Terrain Demo with USGS SDTS DEM data
The documentation is rather lacking - but it's relatively easy once you struggle through your first project. The best thing that's happening right now, beyond just the core PV3D code, are all the demos people are putting together with source code released. It's really tough just doing a tweak-compile-wait-repeat especially with AS3 taking so long to compile. I've pulled many hairs out no doubt. Yes - you can position sprites/MCs in 3d space. You can essentially apply anything that is an asset in the library as a texture, bitmap at least. I've seen a demo or two with animated materials as well. As far as I can tell you can make parts of a model clickable. I've seen a couple demo's that will highlight the wireframe outline of the specific triangle you're mouse is over in 3D space, which would imply you can click on it. Give it a try if you have the time! I'd suggest messing around with the AS3 version. -- Jim Palmer !

RE: [Flashcoders] Class for movie - best practice question
This AS2 class acts like the document class in AS3.
You need to extend MovieClip like you need to extend Sprite or MovieClip
in AS3.
Tracing this in the class will result in _level0, its not composition.
Its really useful for swf that you load, gives you the ability to type
check everything on the root timeline without having to create an empty
clip on the timeline etc... And I've thrown in EventDispatcher in there
which is really useful as well.

[Flashcoders] Javascript SetVariable -- when does Flash see the change?
We have a piece of JavaScript like this:
swf.SetVariable(_level1.myvar,myvalue) ;
This JS code is triggered by a piece of Flash code that is executed when the
SWF loads. However, it appears that the variable is not immediately set:
// Called at load time for the SWF
getURL(javascript:doSet()) ;
trace(_level1.myvar);// Reports nothing
But waiting and tracing the variable's value later seems to work:
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(_level1.myvar) ;// This prints correct value
}
Can anyone confirm this behavior? Is there some delay here (e.g. JS takes
100ms to respond) or is that the value is set when the movie clip's timeline
starts up and not until then?
It's all just a bit mysterious...
Doug
P.S. This is Flash 6 code, running in Flash player 9. Browser is Firefox or
IE 7, both behave the same.

RE: [Flashcoders] Javascript SetVariable -- when does Flash see thechange?
The browser is a big variable in latency of message-passing. You can confirm that many SWF will run at different rates in different browsers. The NPRuntime API is now implemented pretty well in today's popular browsers, but the size and timing of permissible messages may vary among implementations. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/npruntime.html In this case, though, it looks like you're using the old javascript: pseudo-URL, and then polling immediately for a result. It may be better to wait a frame or two, or an interval, before checking whether the plugin-to-browser and browser-to-plugin communication cycles have finished. I don't know how many browsers would stop the plugin's execution during the attempted cross-app communication. jd/adobe ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
